and then in montana, one of the participants pointed that out. let's take a listen. >> why is that that you've changed your strategy from talking about health care reform to health insurance reform and decided to vilify the insurance companies? >> that's a fair question. first of all, you are you absolutely right that the insurance companies in some cases have been constructive. my intent is not to vilify insurance companies. if i was vilifying them, what we would be doing would be to say that private insurance has no place in the health care market and some people believe that. i don't believe that. >> is there some room to at least some degree vilify the insurance companies? shouldn't they be part of this whole process? >> i think what you said is right. it's part of the process. but it's a very complex process. and you can't take a very complex system and boil it down to one culprit. it's just not fair and it's not right. i think these town hall meetings, i thought yesterday's meeting was very good, it was very instructive. not every question
